Friend of Suspect Dzokhar Tsarnaev Says He Smoked A Lot Of Pot, Never Talked Politics, Would Never "Do Anything Like This" "Unless He's Extremely High On Drugs" (InformationLiberation)Via The Guardian:

WBZ-Boston just broadcast an interview with friends of the suspect, Dzokhar Tsarnaev, outside UMass Dartmouth, where the suspect was enrolled. The university was evacuated today.

The two friends interviewed by WBZ said they played soccer with the suspect. They said he never discussed politics and was quiet, not usually speaking unless spoken to. He smoked a lot of pot, one friend said, and would not, the friend said, do "anything like this" "unless he's extremely high on drugs."

"He's just not the kind of guy," the friend told WBZ. "He's just not the kind of guy to do this."

The friends also repeatedly said that Dzohkar Tsarnaev is a notoriously bad driver.
